'll4 Irswicrf, Thursday. It had been arranged that on Wednesday an excursion should be made to Colchester, where a large party of ladies and gentlemen arrived by special train shortly after 10 o'clock. They at once proceeded to the Council Chamber, where they were received by the mayor (Major Bishop), Mr Papillon, M.P. for the borough, and several members of the corporation. After the formal reception a paper was read by the Rev. C. H. Hartshorne on the population and taxation of Colchester. In the year 1301 a tax of a 15th was levied on the personal property of the inhabitants, and Mr Harts horne gave some interesting instances of the value of pro perty possessed by the middle classes of that time—very few had money, and the value of the goods possessed by most was very small. In 1301 the number of householders was 389 now the population was 23,809; the tax of a 15th in 1301 produced £34 12s 4d, while In 1807 the taxation of Colchester amounted to £4,758. On leaving the town.hall the company walked to that point in the ancient Roman walls of the town called the Balkon-hill, where there are the remains of a gateway and guardhouse, which Mr Hartshorne described as one of the woe t perfect specimens of Roman masonry in the town, and perhaps in England. After leaving the Balkon-gate they walked along the old Roman walls, which still rise many feet above the road running outside them, till the ruins of the old castle wt're reached. In the room now devoted to the purposes of a library, in tne keep of the castle, the Rev. C. Hartsh .rne read a paper on the castle, in the course of which he stated that the keep was all that remained of the building, and it was formerly surrounded by a fosse, which might have been the work of the Romans or of a much later period. The tower was octagonal in shape, and was constructed of flint and Roman bricks, with facings of Caen stone. Mr Harts horne laid the date at which the castle was erected at before the year 1130, and. among other observations he made on the building and its history, said though the keep was larger than those of other Norman castles in England, it was not of so greet a height as the majority, but the vaulting was more extensive than was usually the case. A recent writer had asserted that the castle was Roman; but there was no portion which could be attributed to an earlier period than the Norman conquest, though the materials used in its construction were partly Roman bricks, taken, no doubt, from demolished Raman works in the neighbourhood. After some conversation, all who took part in which agreed with Mr Hartshorne that the castle was Norman, the museum, containing some interesting remains, and the extensive vaults under the castle were examined. The ruins of St. Botolph's Abbey were next visited. This abbey (originally deaicated to St. Julien and St. Botolph) was founded in the beginning of the 12th century by a monk named Inulph, who was the first prior. There are scarcely any remains of the abbey except those of the Abbey church, in the ruins of which the massive round Norman columns attract the attention. The west fr is well known as a most beautiful specimen of Norman architecture, the ornamentation consisting chiefly of interlacing arches. The principal doorwry is exceedingly handsome. Here a paper descriptive of the history of the abbey was read by Sir E. Roberts, F.S.A., who also acted as cicerone to the gateway, which is alt that remains of the ancient Abbey of it J..hn, which was founded in 109.5 or 1096, and finished in 1120. The gateway, however, Is of a much later date, bring of not very early perpendicular style. Nat far from St, John's Abbey is a plain old church dedicated to St. Giles, which contains the tomb of Sir C. Lucas and Sir George Lisle, who held Colchester Castle for some time against the Parliamentary army under Sir Thomas Fairfax, and who, when at length the stronghold was taken, were shot. The only other place which time would permit the party to visit was the Church of the Holy. Trinity, which has a square tower, built of old Roman materia., about which there is a doubt whether it is Saxon or Norman work. The supporters of the theory that it is Saxon point to a doorway with a triangular arch in the west wall of the tower, but 11r Roberts expressed his opinion that it was Norman nevertheless. Mr Ciodwin, however, differed, and said he could see no reason why it should not have been built before the Cezqueat, and even uglily it was generally agreed that it was either Saxon or very early Norman. The corporation of Colchester had hospitably entertained the members of the association at the Town-hall, at which the mayor presided, and of which considerably more than a hundred ladies and gentlemen partook. Atter the repast the Mayor proposed the " Health of Mr George Tomline, %P., the President of the A4oriation, with success to the British ArcLEe )logical Association," and he thanked them for the honour they had done Colchester in visiting the town. Mr TOULINB, in response. thanked the Corporation for .he hospbad,y they hsd displayed. Mr J. C, COBBOLD, M.P., then gave " the Health of the Mayor;" and hip , worship havi,g responded, Mr PETTIGREW enlarged upon the advantages derivable from these annual congresses held in various pa , to of the kingdom, not the least of which was that they were brought Into contact with local societies; and be begged to thank the Yen. Lord Arthur Hervey, the President of the Suffolk In stitute of Archmology, for the assistance and welcome be tiad given them. (Cheers.) Lord A. HERVEY returned thanks, and alluded to the very pleasant and interesting day they had spent in Col chester, and proposed the healthy of the gentlemen who had read papers. This toast was acknowledged by Mr HARTSHORNE and Mr ROBERTS, and the health of Mr Pettigrew and of the ladies having been given, the company returned to Ipswich, where a meeting was held in the evening.

The Reading Meeting has been ?popular for a consider able period among the members of the Metropolitan Circuit, and on the present anniversary there was no diminution in the general attendance, or in the character of the sport. Several very heavy special trains were despatched from the Paddington terminus, and, owing to the cheapness of the " excursion," the carriages were completely filled. Although, perhaps, the London element preponderated, there was a large muster of the rustic population, who, as uFual, entered fully into the varied entertainments brought together by the race meeting. The morning was beautifully fine, and the course was in far better condition than at any of the recent Sussex meetings, owing to the late rain and the facilities for irrigation from, the Thames. The ring was completely occupied, many of the provincial bookmakers and professionale having arrived from Huntingdon and Wolverhampton. Raping commenced at half-past one, and was advertised to terminate at six o'clock, but owing to un• avoidable delays in the conduct of business, it was a quarter of an boar after that time before the last race was run of In the opening contests Fordham's Goodwood luck was a.•ain in the ascendant, as he woe five races in succession, inclusive of the Berkshire Stakes on Bally Edmond, that horse also being successful in the same handicap in 1861, when he was a three-yr-old. Singularly enough four of the races won by Fordham were head victories. Raglan was backed for a deal of money at " the lists," but the " turned loose" horse was struck out at 1.55. The subjoined return will sufficiently indicate the nature of the day's sport. The Easthampsvaad Park stakes of 5 cove each, 2ft, for three-yr-olds and upwards; winning penalties.

Betting-3 to 1 agst Rest, 4to 1 agst Lord of the Manor, 7 to 1 each Rosette and Regenerator. After a delay at the post, occasioned principally by the refractory conduct of Rest, an admirable start was made, the lot running in a line stretched across the course for halt the distance, when Rest took up the running, and with Lord of the Manor at her quarters the pair quitted their horses. Opposite the enclosure Rest appeared to have the issue in hand, but compounding at every s ride, Ford• ham succeeded in his finishing rush, and landed " the old Lord" by a short head. Vision, who passed several pulling up, was a bad third, Rumola filth, and Regene rator last. The winner was claimed by Mr Land.

Money Spinner made play for a quarter of a mile, when Lady E:.idia took up the running and carried it on to within the last half dozen strides, where Fanny got up and won by a head. Three lengths separated the second and third, and a head divided the third and fourth, The others were beaten some distance. March, 200 soya, h ft.

They simply cantered from the starting post, Spitfire Kitty closely followed by Gibraltar, Bally Edmond, and the Major, which order they maintained to the new Swimming Baths, where Bally Edmond took second place. They ran thus until they got round the bottom turn half a mile from home, where Spi fire Kitty dropped away, and the Major, who had previously repassed Bally Edmond, was left with the lead, The pair quitted their horses upon approaching the distance, and after a most exciting race Fordhatn again won by a head on Bally Edin ltd.

Wednesday's proceedings consisted of the sailing of the yachts belonging to the club, in divisions under flag officers, and the annual dinner at the Club•house in the evening. The dinner was a ',lost successful affair, upwards of 90 members and their fr ends having sat down. The toasts, after "the Queen," by the Commodore, and "the Prince the Princess of Wales and the Royal Family," by the Vice- Commodore, included "prosperity to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club," coupling with it the name of Commodore Thellusson, given by the Vice-C.mmedore, Lord Burghley. Commodore Thellusson, in responding, gave "prosperity to all other yacht clubs," coupling with it the names of Earl Vane and Mr A. Arcedeckne, the Commodore of the Royal Thames Yacht Club. "The health of the secretary of the R, V. Y C., Capt. Mackinnon," war proposed in highly complimentary terms by Earl Vane. Yesterday's programme consisted of the race for The Ladies Plate, value £5O, given by the Ladies of Ryde Open to all yachts belonging to R V.Y.C. Time race, half Ackera's scale. Thames measurement, The following vessels were entered :—Mat ins, cutter, 63 tots, Mr J. C. Morice—Emily, schooner, 60 tons, Mr E.

Course —from Hyde pier to the Nab lightvessel, thence to the West buoy of the middle, thence in to Ryde pier ; twice round. Of the nine vessels entered only three started—the Ma. rina, Albertine, and Vetante. The start was effected at 10 a.m., with the wind light from the N N.E., with the tide flood and the commencement of the course to the eastward. The Marina took a good lead, followed by the schooner, with Volante last. The Noman Fort staging was passed by the Marina at 10h 24m 20 s , the Albertine at 10h 25m 40e, and the Volante at 10h 27, 11 15 s. In running past the Warner the Albertine and V olento luffed off, apparently playing with each other, a circumstance the Marina took advantage of by keeping a straight course for the Nab and increasing her lead. The breeze now freshened a trifle from t h e N E., and the Albertine and VulAnte made close after the Marina for the Nab. The bretz 3 again fell, and when the three vessels were about half way between the Noreen and the Nab they lay nearly becalmed for some time. At 20 minutes past 11 the Volante brought up a light breez.. from N . W, with her, and passed the Galatea, taking second place. By the aid of these light airs the Nab was at length reached, and the Volante was round first, although the Marina had been down there some minutes before her, but was jammed by the tide for w ant of wind. Jibing their booms e . 7er on their post quarters they rounded the light vessel as follows : — Volante, 11h 57 m 40s; Ga l atea, 12h 2m 58 ; Marina, 12h 3m 18s. At 2 15 p.m. the three vessels had only reaohed to the westward as far as the middle of Stoke's •bay (about one halt the first round), the Volante being fi rst, Galatea second, and Matins last—about three-quarters of a mile separating the first vessel from the last, The wind was then very light. from atspa aboutsNs W.N.W. Soon after wards th th e wind cam e i t c , f rom nearly every point of e compass, the Al ariu. standing towards Osborne under the influence from one out (loads, s while ho re.

The Volante and Albertine kept the breeze, which grew fresh under the land „ and rounded the buoy thus :—Volante, 4 3h _3ln ; Atieert in e , 3h Si m ; Marius, 4h 5m 455. Coming up from the buoy for Ryde Roads, the yachts brought up with them quite a fresh wind from W.S.W., which ran them over the weatgoing tide in oapital style, and Rj de pier head was pasoed, and the first round completed by the Volante at 4h 31m 37s Albertine, 4h 33in 4 0 a ; Marina, 4h s fine 22a. Two minutes before passing the Albertine had the misfortune to carry away her jib-boom close to the hewaprit iron, de priving her of the services of her balloon-jib, to make up as far as possible for which she set her fnreataysail and a flying maintopmast and staysail. Tao wind was veering about between W.S.W. and W.N W., b ut it kept up its strength as the yachts ran down for the Nab, the Volante passing the Notnan 2w. 10s ahead of Albertine, and the Marina at the same time just completing h er first round. The Nab was luffed round for the second and last time by the Volante, at sh. 22m. 20s. ; Albertine, sh, 20m. 70.; Marina, sh. 48w. 355. The wind rather moderated as the yachts approached Spit head from the Nab, and as the rules of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club specify that an y race not completed by sun down must be considered null and void, and sailed over again another day, t h ere was a probability that the race would not be brought to a conclusion yesterday if the wind should head the yachts or far, off in strength down the west channel. At 615 p.m. the Albertine, with a temporary jibboom rigged out and jib set, was standing down through the western end of Stokes Bay, with the Volante a short distance to windward. The race was now very close be tween the two, and it was impossible to say (makingallow ance for the time to be given by the Volante to the Alber 'ine) which had the best of it, the cutter or the schooner. The Marina was astern far enough to be considered quite out of the race. _ _ The Allyrtine won the Ladies Priz3 by lm. 10s. The Ladies' Plate is an elaborately chased silver ink stand in the Etruscan style, containing three beauti‘u' Greek vases, beaded and wreathed with antique scroll. The pen-trays surrounding it are richly ornamented with floral designs of groat beauty. The selection of this ele gant and usetul prize does credit to the good taste of the committee. The whole weighs upwards of 90 , )z., an d was supplied by Mr Barnard, silversmith, Ryde, It bears the inscriprion :—" The Ladies' Plate, presented to the Regatta at the R. V.

Governor Letcher, of Virginia, to the Mayor of Richmond : Lexington, Vs., July 5. Finding that the Yankees would take the town on Saturday, the 1 1 th, I left home near midnight, Friday night, and went to Big Island, in B.dford, where I remained till Wednesday morning follow ing, when, hearing the Vandals had lett, I returned. I had previou-ly heard that my house had been 'mimed with all its contents The threats made by he Yankees against me for the past two years satis fied me that they would destroy my house when they came to Lexington, but I always supposed hat they would allow the furniture and my family'e c,othing to be removed. In this, however, I wus disappointed. When the Yankees took possession of the town, Dr. Paton, medical director for Hunter's army, and •vho hails from Manion county, Virginia, went to my house, told my wife he was unwell, and said he must have a room in the house. He took the room, supped and breakfasted, and, when breakfast was aear ty over, remarked in a manner half jocular, half earnest, to Lizzie, that it was the last meal she would take in the house. Shortly after he left, without taking leave of any of the family, nor was he again seen by any of them. The threats made by soldiers on Saturday even ing indu3ed my wife to fear that the house would be burned, and she expressed her fears in the hear. ing of Dr. Paton and Capt. Towns, of New York. Capt. Towns very promptly said that I, being a private citizen, and the house being private pro perty, burning it would be an inexcusable outrage, .nd proposed at once to go to Hunter's headquar ters and ascertain. He went, and was directed by Hunter to assure my wife that the house would not be disturbed. The sequel shows that the sole object of this assurance was to quiet her apprehensions, and thus prevent anything from being removed. About halt-past eight o'clock a.m. (Captain Berry and his provost guard rode up, and the officer called for my wife. She came to the door, when Berry informed her he was ordered by Hunter to fire the house. She replied there must be some mistake, and asked for the order. He said it was a verbal order. She then said to him, " Can it not be de layed until I can see General Hunter." " The order is peremptory," he replied, " and you have five minutes to leave the house." She then asked leave to remove her mother's, sister's, her own, and her sister's clothing, which was insolently refused, Immediately thereafter camphine was poured o❑ the parlour door, and ignited with a match. In the meantime my daughter had gathered up an armfu► of clothing, and was going out when he discovered her, ran forward,and fired the clothing in her arms. He then poured camphine in the wardrobes, taireau drawers, and ignited the clotbing•—taking out my clothing, which he said he intended to take north. Every house on my lot was burned save a small granary over my icehouse. Not a particle of flour, meat, or any thing edible was left, all paving been carried off on Saturday.

The last chief of the celebrated Polish National Government and four of its mew. ben died this morning upon the gallows. The un fortunate victims were Romnald Trangutt, a dis charged Russian colonel ; Krajewski, an architect ; Joseph Toczyski, a bookkeeper; Zulinaki, a teacher, at the Gymnasium ; and Johann Jezioraneki. a tax collector ; ail young men, none over 30 yews of age. Originally 21 men and four women were sentenced to death by the military tribunals, but the Viceroy pardoned 17 of the men and all the women. It must not be imagined, however, that the objects of Count Berg's clemency have much reason to con. gratulate themselves, for their sentences have been commuted partly into many years of labour in the Siberian mines, partly to shorter periods of confine ment in fortresses in the same bleak and inhospit able country. The official Dziennik of yesterday gives a detailed account of the whole prosecution, and furnishes many interesting particulars of the manner in which the insurrectionary government was carried on. The following are extracts ; "Owing to the discoveries made by the Military Investigation Committee, and the increased activity of the Wdrsaw police, numbers of persons concerned in the revolutionary organisation were arrested at the beginning of the year, and an extensive revolu tionary correspondence was seized. Upon inspec tion of the documents and examination of the pri soners further arrests were undertaken, which, com bined with information already obtained, rendered it possible to gain possession of the chiefs of the insurrection. The investigation which then took place brought to light the main details of the orga nisation, and the action of the secret society, or, so-called, National Government, standing at the head of the movement. " The National Government operated by means of a special central organisation in Warsaw, and of local administrations in the eight woywodeships into which the rebels had divided the kingdom of Poland. Up to October 10, 1863, the Government was composed only of a small council, the composi tion and arrangement of which was veiled in the deepest mystery. After that date an entire change took place, one chief being recognised as the imme diate and independent leader of the entire revolu tion. This chief was the discharged Lieutenant. Co:onel Romuald Trangutt, formerly leader of an insurgent corps in Lithuania. After the dispersion of his followers he fled to Cracow, whence he went to Warsaw, ostensibly as a traveller for a mercantile firm, under the assumed name of Michael Czarneche. " The Warsaw central organisation, as chief organ of the revolutionary Government, was com posed of six departments, under different heads— Interior, War, Treasury, Foreign Affairs, Public Press, and Poliee. In addition to its chief, each deprirtment had a certain number of subordinate officials and a secretary. Following out the prin ciple adopted in the entire organisation, the mem b.rs of which each department was composed were unknown to its chief, and of the chiefs themselves moat were strangers to one another. The local administrations i❑ the woywodeships, whose mem bers were known through the various decrees dis tributed among the people, consisted-1, of com tniesioners possessing certain powers ; 2, of the civil chiefs of the woywodeships ; 3, chiefs of circles, towns, and communes," &o. Toe Dziennik, then gives in some detail a resume of the operations of the National Government to the 10th of October, 1863, the date of Trangutt assuming the chief direction of affairs, and con firms : "From this period several heads of departments into personal communication with Trangutt, whom they visited at his lodgings in the house of Helene Kirkow, in Smolne-street. Trangutt also fre quently went to the officials to make arrangements with them. These meetings of the chiefs ceased in January, 1864, after the capture of various mem bers. Thenceforth the communication between the different diplomatists was carried on through female agents. The investigation proved that, besides Tran. vat, the chief personages of the revolutionary orgunisation were the following :-1. Secretary of State, the architect Janowski. 2. The heads of departments—lnterior, R. Krgjewski, noble, aged 29; his secretaries, T. Burzynski and G. Paprocki ; Treasury, Joseph Toczyski, a bookkeeper, formerly banished, aged 37, his secretaries, Iluaiki, a noble, aged 50, and Summeki, noble, aged 19 ; War, Galp zowski, falsely called Golkowicz, Russian, a mili tary man ; Foreign Affairs, Dunagowski, pastor of Si. John's Church; his secretary, Wolynski, also a clergyman ; Public Press, Waclaw Prybylski, for merly teacher at the Wologodzki Gymnasium; his secretary, Bognslawski, a noble, aged 25 ; Police, Pinkowski, teacher at the Gymnasium; Wazkowski, town captain, the son of a Warsaw citizen. 3. The head of the publication department, Baron Zulinski ; his secretaries and assistants, A. Krzcki, a noble, aged 25; R. Frankowcki, student at the Warsaw High School, a noble, aged 24; E. Trvebsecki, a noble, aged 25; C. Hants, of Warsaw, aged 20. 4. The Commissioner of Ways and Roads, J. lezior anski, a noble, aged 30. 5. M. Dobiecki, a noble, aged 26, teacher at the 3d District School in War saw. "These persons, with several culpable in a less degree, had incurred the penalty of death, but his Excellency confirmed the sentence to that effect passed by the court-martial only in the cases of the condemned men Trangutt, Krajeweki, Toczyski, Zulinski, and Jezioranski. The sentences of the other prisoners were commuted by his Excellency, by virtue of the authority placed in his hands, in limiki's case to 15 years' hard labour in the mines, Dyborcki to 12 years, and eight of the others to 10 years' confinement in Siberian fortresses, each pri. Boner incurring the loss of all civil rights. "The court-martial also found Johann Muklano. wiez. Helena Kitkow, the sisters Emilia and Bar bara ()anoraks, and Anna Wroblewska, guilty of having illegally aided and abetted the rebels. For this offence Mt:dame Kirkow Mecklanowiez, and the Gazawskas were condemned to loss of civil rights and hard labour in the factories, the Former for eight years, the others fur six. Anna Wrobiewska, also losing her civil rights, was sentenced to trans portation to Siberia. The present and future pro perty of the criminals was also confiscated to the use of the State." The fire persons condemned to death were exe cuted upon the gkcis of the fortress this morning, sithongh a pardon was hoped for to the [fist mo ment. They stepped upon the sc affold firvlf, and underwent their fate with perfect resignation and cumposure, in presence of an immense crowd of ex cited spectators. Thu? perished the latest victims of the ill-juc_7ged and ill-fated Polish rising of 1863. PRINCE NAPOLEON IN INVERNESS.-0:i Monday evening Prince Nip9leon, the Princess Mural, Count Ferra Pisani, and other members of the Prince's suite, arrived in Inverness by train from the South, and took up their abode in tha Caledonian Hotel. After visiting the various oljetta of interest in the town and neighbour he el, the party procee,tied to Oban by the Caledonian Canal. 45'cotsm ait The late Prince Albert's Speeches, A correspondent of the .1 orning Advertiser, signing himself " A Physician," writes as foll ows (under date the 10th inst ), to our contemporary Sir,—l was glad, as lam sure many other readers were, that in the notice of the unveiling of the excellent and striking statue or monumeut to the :ate Prince Consort yesterday at the Licensed Vic uallers' Asylum, your reporter speaks so well of :he science of the late ever. by-us -to-be deplored ' popular leader. I must say for myself that I have been all my life reading Bacon and Butler's Aoalugy," Whecvull. and Mill, deduction and induction ; dreary Hunter orations by the dozen, medical lee , ures like leaves in Val Ombrosa for worible,sness or number; dry platitudes r.chaufees at Orford of Sir William Hamilton ; unearthly bombast es to e cience by " Vestiges of Creation," plagiaried, quackeries as to development, a brilliant polished castle of cards tumbled long ago, and leaving no vestiges behind. Au these and many more, but I never got the true co-ordinating secret of what is or ou g h t to b e inductive" reasoning and ,what " deduct;ve" till I had read Prince Albert's speeches, especially the ' one at Aberdeen. That wonderful speech, though obviously Written or spoken at the British As-. sociation under the inspiration of Liebig, is pee.- haps the most perfect thing of its kind in .he English language. These speeches and Vuese books of science are to young men like what a our ney right through the tangle, and thicket of Aus tralia might be to a set of explorers without a key or map, or a ship at sea in a storm that had lost all sight of stars or sky and a l so its compass—enaystifi cation, distraction and bother everywhere; made more mystical by half-informed critic s in so called weekly science or other newspapers. Such were the books, lectures, platitudes, bombast, When the Prince, with masterly power, gave the key to the whole chaos. Or it w as dice that dreadful noise at the Opera, when the trombones, fiddles, clarionets, piano, and fifes are t un i ng w i t h out end, but at length comes the co-ordinating key or solemn wail of the overture, maybap to " Fidelio." But w'a at would three hours of discordant tuning be comp aced to that opera itself? Such are too many of the ecience books even now—discord, claptrap, at heism, one-sided crotchets or law on induction, for whi c h Whewell and Herschel are the representative men ; greet and grand laws of social economy or induce tion that nobody believe now, though they were hard nuts to crack at college once on a time. We now have "Darwin on Species" every day mis quoted ; the gorilla question and the hippocampns about as much settled as we settled Denmark and the Duchies; toe old orchestra tuning still always going on—our friend Cardinal Wiseman first fiddle. The Times review writers who never spell " diocese" or "chemistry" or half a dozen other words rigl - i t at the kettle-drums—Armstrong guns theone greet particular science for them (not a science at men mistaking Bulwer Lytton for Charles Oellelley and denouncing Zineni, and chloroform, and mesmerism as they would Toryism. The great family of the Podsnaps, the 'higher polite people of this kind of inductive science, are in said woe at the poor, much-to-be-pitied inoffen sive people in the parks who sleep on the grass. But political economy explains how it is so. We treat the poor by rigid, cast-iron statistics as mere stocks or stones. If it can be shown by Mr. Gladstoue'a inductions that each unit of the population consumos more claret and cigars this year than last ; that the tonnage of export trade (the standing joke in Ire land or Scotland) also in some decimal or logarithm bigger —no matter that the tonnage is for emigrant ships, or poor Podge or Smith in the park never touch cigars or claret, high-priced tobaccos, or hair powder for servants—the induction of Bacon or Whewell, the s tatistical fact of improvement remains. But Prince Albert showed that inductive philosophy is not at all adapted to such social or physiological science; that as now talked in the schools B icon is a caricature; that such science is the key of mere physical discovery —it will do for chemical analysis or calculation cf an eclipse, but not in calculating social, medical, biological, cr such problems; that hasty generalisation or ioduczion is the bane of all our smaller every-day philo sophies, and that what is eminently the key of biological, medical, poor-law social, life insurance, or such problems, is the deductive method, or com paring one group of facts with another group. Are the poor better off because cotton is leas abun.. dant, because railways in London are knocking down their poor habitations by hundreds, emigrant ships crowded, families broken up, or because coroners' inquests make money for coroners in Bethnal-green ; and "fashion," with the flimsiness of a moth flying at a candle, runs after Paris silks rather than Spitalfields goods ? Dundrearyism and fashion in excelsis, with Parliamentary Toga. rithma and decimals, and the old tuning of our orchestra that " passeth all understanding," till one begins to detest the word science. Prince Albert and men like Victor Hugo evidently do not look on the poor as sticks or stocks, to be treated by the inductive science; or that excellent American who gave half a million to the London poor. As to what effect " fashion " may have, I have been told by several wholesale merchants in that line, that Spitalfields silks are all the rage as tha best in Paris shops, bat would not be looked at in the shops of Regent -street ; but that actually it is common to make silks of the very beet kind at Bethnal-green or Spitalfields, send them to Paris, and bring them back to Ragent-street or Oxford, street with the Paris mark on them, when Duna drearyism and fashion will go into hysterics over them. This thing has ruined all the trade in all the chief towns of Ireland. Take one, Limerick or Cork, known for brushes, gloves, &c. The very best in the world are made in these two towns, but they must be sent to Paris, and come back to Dublin or London, like the Spitalfields silks. The deductive logic looks into these things, reasons on them, know ing that in such butterfly flights of fashion, shifting as the wind, the people are thrown out of employ ment ; but the logarithms of induction say it is all right, as the tonnage of emigration is increased. So induction says a man dies of chloroform by diseased heart; deduction says it is exactly the opposite, and says so correctly. Induction tells such a man's life ought not to be insured for his family; deduction shows such an induction is ab. solute trash, and so on, Induction is most excellent for eclipse calculations, though Bacon does not know it, and does not use the word at all as usually copied from one silly book to another. By induc• tion, as Emerson well puts it, one man in ten thousand ought to marry his grandmother or sat old shoes because some units of the population at Colney Hatch do so. But, finally, what I . hold is this, that np to the time of the late Amented Prince Consort's speech at Aberdeen, and a speech by Liebig, this distracted, eternal dull tuning of the orchestra of English science went on, leaving our schools, like Eton, Rugby, Harrow, the deri. sion of Europe; French and German science tra vestied ; Bacon a sort of wooden saint, worshipped and even now never read or quoted, except as ladies for fashion quote Balzac or purchase F r en c h silks. O'CONNELL'S EFFIGY BITE.NED IN BELFAST,. On Monday night the effigy of Daniel O'Connell was burned on the Boyne Bridge —the name given to the new railway bridge, by the Sandy row men. 'there were certainly upwards of 40,000 persons present, and every in dignity was wreaked on the effigy of the man whose memory was commemorated in quite another way in Dublin on Monday. The burning mass was elevated on the bridge while the train conveying the excursionists from Dublin passed under it. The vast crowd separated peaceably im mediately after. A number of the county and local consta bulary were present, under Head Constable Rankin and Chief Constable M 'Kittrick. On Tuesday night the burn ing of the etligy, which occurred the previous evening, was followed up by the burning of a coffin which was supposed to contain thst ashes of the effigy. A very large crowd gathered, an.i, hitving beet proceeded to Friar's hush bury. ing ground, where they were denied admittance, toey returned back to Sandy-row. A full-mounted ct fr Et was procured, and after parading about with it for some time they set fire to it and threw it into the Blacketaff. During the proceedings the music of fife and drum, and cheers, wet e heard. Some person originated a rumour that Christ Church was being wrecked by the vound-streer, party, and a rush was made to protect the building. The alarm, how ever, was discovered to be false, and after some more cheer lug, the very large crowd dispersed ridietly,—Bafan Irt!er.
